Heart and brain of a service station
Autotank is a groundbreaker in its field: in 1964 the company
was the first in the world to introduce the bank note payment
terminal at service stations. The invention made it possible
for the stations to stay open around the clock. These days
fully automated unmanned stations are the fastest-growing
area of fuel distribution.
The heart and brain of the unmanned station is the payment
terminal. It controls the fuel dispensers and all the information
vital to the operation of the station goes through it to the
oil companies, banks, credit card institutions and company
running the station.
Autotank, which is part of Aspo Plc, is the leading company
in developing automated dispensing systems at service stations.
The company has a strong foothold in the rapidly expanding
markets in the Baltic region, Poland and Russia.
